Written by the BettingEdgeHub desk, 4 October 2026

England produced a stunning performance in their latest Nations League fixture. They travelled to Rijeka and completely dismantled Croatia by seven goals to nil. Punters who backed a heavy victory were rewarded with a massive payout after a remarkably one sided contest from the very first whistle.

Market reaction

This incredible result will send shockwaves through the outright betting markets for upcoming tournaments. Bookmakers will surely slash odds on England for future success following such a ruthless display of attacking football. Meanwhile, backers of Croatia will likely see their prices drift significantly after this defensive disaster.

The Three Lions showed incredible clinical finishing throughout the match. Every chance seemed to end up in the back of the net. Bettors who like to wager on goalscorers had a field day as multiple players got on the scoresheet during the rout.

Looking ahead

Punters should reevaluate their strategy when backing this England team moving forward. Momentum is a powerful force in international football and confidence will be sky high. Finding value might become harder now that bookmakers respect the squad much more.

What it means for a bet

Expect bookmakers to shorten England prices significantly for future matches and major tournaments.
